verdict of guilty Of printing counterfeit
notes against Gustave Koechert, recon-
mending him at the same time to the
mercy OF the court. The case is one of
several known 8s the Brazilian counter

the Confederate service went to Brazil
with many others. After q while
in Brazil he conceived gigantic plan of
counterieiting notes in this country. No
one was taken into his confidence but
his brother, Lucius White of TeX.s, who
was used t. do the WORK. Lucius was
to get two steel plates made, each repre-
sentiug the side OF Brazilian note to be
used, it was understood, as label for 8
cigar box. One plate was made in St.
Louis, the other here. The
ithographing firm of which
Koechert was member undertook
the job in good faith, when the whole
thing was gwen away and kOechert and
his partner were arrested, charged with
being counterfeiters. The jury yesterday

that he was technically guilty of counter
feiting. although acting in good faith and
having no intention or desire to defraud

against; kindling of passions and the

A Custer County ARRAY.

a Miles City special to the Independent
says: Ben Mason, a rancher, saloon man
and storekeeper of the little town of Pow
derville, 60 miles south of Miles City,
came to town to-day and surrendered
himself to the officers of the law, with
the statement that on Sunday morning he
had shot and killed one James Clark, near
Powderville. Mason's story of the kill
ing is that on his return from recent
trip to Miles City he was informed by his
wife that Clark had attempted to outrage
their nine year-old daughter. Clark then
escaped to the hills and was there in hid
ing. On Sunday morning Mason learned
that Clark had returned to his ranch,
across Powder river from Mason's place,
and set out with the intention of appre-
hendlng Clark and bringing him to Miles
Mason was successful in the arrest of
Clark, and set out with him in charge.
intending to deliver him into the custody of
the sheriff. Mason was, of course, armed
and notified Clark that an attempt to cs-
cape would result in his being shot down.
Notwithstanding this warning Clark
broke and made run before they had
proceeded half mile ON their journeyl
and Mason made good his word and shot
him through the head, killing him instant
". The coroner and deputy sheriff pro-
cceded to the scene of the tragedy late this
afternoon, and Mason being the sole wit
ness was taken back with them. Clark
the dead man, is an old timer in this
country, man of about so years of age
and has hitherto borne good reputation.
He was Grand Army man in good stand
ing, and his acquaintanccs refuse to ac-
cept the tale as related by his SLAYER.
Powdervillc is nearly two days ride from
Miles City, and no information is expected
from there earlier than Thursday. 1t is
claimed by some that there is more be
hind the killing than appears ON the sur
ACE, and developments are anxiously
awaited.

? L. Dickinson, a guard in the territorial
prison went to Helena Sunday. and Mon
; day night took room at the Cosmopo-
} Titan hotel. He retired about 10 o'clock
and the next morning was found dead in
his bed. Beside him was vial containing
morphine and 1t was ascertaincd that an
overdose of this drug caused his death.
He had pawned his watch and revolver
and lost considerable sum of money
gambling, to which is attributed the
cause for his committing suicide.
J. E. Rhodes, the representative of an
eastern iron and steel company, who re-
fused to pay the commercial license at
Helena last Friday because cf the late
decision of the supreme court of Tennes-
see declaring the same unconstitutional
and was arrested, submitted to trial last
Friday, for the purpose of contesting the
legality of the commercial travellers
license. Judge Wade ruled that the Ten
nessee decision is equally applicable to
Montana, and ordered the discharge of
| the prisoner.
4 serious shooting affray took place on
Farwell's ranch, which is located on the

and d. B. Woods engaged in IN alterca-
ton concerning the ownership or custody
of quantity sheep pclts. Woods and
Flicker came to blows. Flecker being
assisted by Smith, Sheldon intcrfered to
save Woods and shot Smith in the neck.
Smith retreated to cabin near by and
obtained rifle, and, returning, shot Shell
don in the breast. Flicker was wounded
in the knee during the affray, but it is not
known whether by Sheldon or Smith.
Sheldon will probably die.
